 the Gentleman might proceed. Sir Hierome upon that starts up again, and said,

Mr. Speaker, I must speak, for I have foul things: why there's Balleboy, the Barony of Balleboy, Mr Speaker. The Doctor has 7000. acres in the Barony of Balleboy, that hee has no right to; and then there's the odd pence, hee has taken them all to make his Debt swell; he has 18000. acres, and his Debentures come to about 5000. acres; for our Debentures, Mr Speaker, come many times to 5s 2d: hee takes the two pence to himself, and pays only 5s. Then there's another thing, Mr. Speaker; I have it here in my Papers, and that's Straffords Survey. The Doctor gives in a Duplicate of Straffords Survey, which never cost him 20 l. and receives 1100 l. for it. These be foul things.

Here another moved again, that hee might put his Charge in writing, and that the House might proceed to the business of the day; which Motion (the House being now weary in expecting some material thing) was seconded, and a weeks time allowed Sir Hierome to put his Charge in writing.
